Interesting collection of mediums and such mentioned here. Surprised I didn't see William Gibson's book "Neuromancer" or Neal Stephenson's "Snow Crash" mentioned.

Incidentally, years ago my sister gifted me the movie "Beasts of The Southern Wild" which is mentioned in the article as "Solarpunk." After watching the trailer I still don't feel like watching it.

An earlier draft did have a chunk on Neuromancer, Gibson's hunt and peck typing approach and his new book but I had to take it out as I was at the length limit. I might do something more on some of the characters in Neuromancer when I do a piece on hackers, fact and fiction.

My introduction to cyberpunk came through Mondo 2000 and some other zines that I can't quite remember.

But yeah - the absence of Gibson is pretty conspicuous.

Right. To me, Neuromancer and Snow Crash are the epitome of cyberpunk.

Yeah, the only reference to gibson I could find was nidirect via "the cyberpunk novels of the 1980s."

The "The Future Is Already Here - It’s Just Not Evenly Distributed" line is a Gibson quote. Which of course doesn't make it any less strange to write an article about cyberpunk and not mention William Gibson.

This article wasn't much more than what you'd see in daily discussion over at /r/cyberpunk.

And there are proto cyberpunk going back to "Fury" (Kuttner and Moore) in the 40's C l Moore is the author reference in the blind assassin BTW

SRD ( Samuel Delany ) and other new wave authors are certainly Cyberpunk influences.

Beasts of The Southern Wild was one of the most boring movies I ever watched without any redeeming qualities I can recall.
